We made a list of more than 130 most beautiful waterfalls in Iceland. This is of course nowhere near the list of all, because there are thousands of them. Nevertheless, we believe that our detailed guide to waterfalls in Iceland covers all you need to know about famous Icelandic waterfalls. We hope it will help you choose your favorite waterfalls to see in Iceland and plan your trip.
All the waterfalls in this article are accessible to visitors. Many of them easily, some of them not. We list the exact location of every waterfall, its photo, its height, and if a waterfall is accessible in winter. If a hike to a waterfall is necessary, we include all info about the hike – distance, difficulty, and hiking trail itself. Importantly, we also describe what type of car you need to reach every single waterfall, or in Icelandic, “foss”.
Note: We will be adding even more waterfalls. Please, if you know of any beautiful waterfall we have not covered yet, send us your picture and waterfall info and we will give you all the credit for it (and a bottle of wine when we meet in person)!

The biggest waterfalls
The biggest waterfalls in Iceland by volume are Urriðafoss, Dettifoss, Hafragilsfoss, Selfoss, and Goðafoss. Measuring volume is tricky and there are scarce data.

The most beautiful waterfalls
The most beautiful waterfalls in Iceland are said to be Dettifoss, Skógafoss, Seljalandsfoss, Dynjandi, and Gljúfrabúi. This list is of course highly subjective and everyone has to choose his own favorite waterfall. Some prefer big waterfalls, some prefer remote waterfalls. This list is a blend of all waterfalls the most frequently referred to as the most beautiful ones.
Dettifoss is said to be the most beautiful because it’s one of the biggest, Skógafoss because it’s big and in picturesque surroundings, and Seljalandsfoss because you can walk behind it in summer. Dynjandi is probably the prettiest waterfall in Westfjords, Gljúfrabúi is uniquely hidden in a ravine, Aldeyjarfoss in the highlands, and Fagrifoss on a way to Laki craters. Bruárfoss has the bluest water, Raudufossar is fully covered in orange and Ófærufoss is the highlight of the Eldgjá reserve.

The most hidden waterfalls in Iceland are Drifandisfoss, Nýifoss, Núpsárfoss, Bolugil, and Möngufoss. All of these are among the most remote Icelandic waterfalls, yet still accessible and amazingly beautiful. It is of course impossible to exactly tell which waterfall is the most hidden one, but this list should give a good overview of such waterfalls.
Prepare well when visiting the hidden Icelandic waterfalls. Most of them are hard to access and hidden in the highlands. You either need a proper car or proper hiking gear, or both. You should also visit them only in good weather conditions. That being said, there are nearly as many undiscovered waterfalls in Iceland as those that are already discovered. This means there’s still a huge room for exploration and adventure.

FAQ
Below are the most frequently asked questions about Icelandic waterfalls with up-to-date answers.
How many waterfalls does Iceland have?
There are thousands of different waterfalls in Iceland. If someone counted also all the sub-waterfalls the number can easily grow to tens of thousands. Most of the waterfalls in Iceland have actually not been discovered yet. They are hidden in uninhabited and remote parts of Iceland, often referred to as the highlands.
Which Iceland waterfall can you walk behind?
You can walk behind 4 Icelandic waterfalls – Seljalandsfoss, Kvernufoss, Selvallafoss, and Skútafoss. The most famous waterfall you can walk behind in Iceland is Seljalandsfoss. Most of the sources wrongly state that this is the only waterfall you can walk behind. This is incorrect information. You can also walk behind Laugavallalaug, but it’s so small it doesn’t count.
When walking behind the waterfalls, please take special care. The terrain may be slippery and dangerous. Never do this in snowy or icy conditions. Typically you can walk behind the waterfalls in Iceland only in summer.
Is there a valley of waterfalls in Iceland?
There are 3 well-known waterfall valleys in Iceland:
- Waterfall way in Skógar, on a way to Fimmvörðuháls hike
- Dynjandi waterfall trail in Westfjords
- Waterfall circle near Laugarfell
Are Icelandic waterfalls free?
All waterfalls in Iceland are free to visit. The only thing you pay for is the parking. Parking is paid only at some of the most popular waterfalls, like Seljalandsfoss or Kirkjufellsfoss. There are no opening hours for the waterfalls in Iceland. You may visit them anytime you want. Just bear in mind, a visit may be dangerous in the dark in winter.
Are Icelandic waterfalls accessible in winter?
Waterfalls situated near the main roads are usually well-accessible in winter. On the other hand, the waterfalls located in the highlands or at more remote places may not be accessible at all. For each waterfall, we list below whether you can see it in winter easily, hardly, or not at all. Here you can also the list of all waterfalls we visited in winter.
